16 wks out...i think

Went for my 4th fill today. Added another .6 cc so for a total of 3.8 cc in a 9cc band. I think that is right. i have lost another 2 lbs that I struggled with again these past 2 wks. I am not satified with 1 lb a week but hopefully will have more restriction. I pray for more restriction....I want the band to work for me now. Until then I will have to stay focused and weigh my portions and not eat between meals. Any help would be great. Thanks!

I am trying not to get discouraged but I have only lost 31 lbs and feel I should have lost more by now. I go for another fill next Tuesday...July 28. I want more restriction. I am up to 5 cc. I wish he would get more aggressive. Hope to have good news next week.

14 wks out

I have had 3 fills. #1 was 2cc,#2 was .5cc and # 3 was .7cc. Having my 4th fill May 12. I wish he would give me more or this time it really gives me restriction. I am down 29 lbs but not w/o a fight. I am battling the same 2-3 lbs every 2 wks. I am trying to be good but I brought some Debbie Cakes into my house and I will NEVER make that mistake again. I do not want to fall into my bad habits again. I want the band to tell me NO MORE. Anyone with advice is welcomed to give it to me. I want to succeed otherwise I wouldn't have invested 16,500 cash to this endeavor. I am praying for strength and patience thru my journey.

I go to Dr. for another fill tomorrow. It has been 3 wks since my last fill. A week ago on my scales it showed I had lost a few more lbs. but it depends on Dr. scales tomorrow to tell the tale. I hope for something. We are still talking around 30 lbs. Hopefully a little more. Hanging in there!!

30 weeks out

Went to Dr. today and got another fill. I am at 6.2 cc. I lost 6 lbs this month so I am, according to the dr., 39 lbs down. He seems pleased. I feel restriction but not at all times. I hope to cont. feeling the restriction more and more. Trying not to be impatient but I know a gal that has lost 100 lbs and she is prob. 39 wks out. I am trying not to compare so patient am I and I will keep everyone posted.:thumbup:

First blog

My process started in Dec 08 I did my homework went to seminar Jan 7 09, consult 2 wks later and banded 2/16/09. Including pre-op diet and 3 wks post-op I have lost 20 lbs. Hope that is good. I have learned alot about people, food and myself. It is all positive. I have lost inches too just waiting to go to the next size down. learing to eat, what to eat and remembering not to drink while I eat. Anyone, please feel welcome to advice me or encourage me and tell me your stories. :confused:

8 weeks out/ April 13,2009

Tomorrow I get my 2nd fill. Waiting and wanting more restriction. I have a 9 cc band and tomorrow will fill it to 4-5 cc's. I was going to ask the dr. to fill it 3 cc but I will leave it to him( the professional). I read a blog of someone who had their 2nd fill up to 5 cc in a 14cc band and had too much restriction. I am glad I read it cause it gave me insight as to possible and hopeful restriction even with the 2nd fill. I am 26 lbs down in 10 wks. That includes my 2 wk pre-op diet. I am on course. Just need to remind myself not to get too anxious. I am exercising too. Just venting...thanks for viewing.:smile2:
